HTC HD7 With Windows Phone 7 Tango Build 8200 Leaked In Slovakia | htc | windows phone | Windows Phone 7 | Windows Phone 7 Tango Build 8200 Leaked In Slovakia | HTC HD7 |

 

The next generation Windows Phone 7 version will be called Mango and the update build has been shipped to OEMs. Recently, we established that Mango will be quickly followed by another major update which has the internal codename of “Tango.” The next update after Tango is codenamed Apollo, but we’re going to discuss about it at a later time. Much later time… Anyway the first proof of the Tango existence is a photo of a HTC HD7 which is running on build 8200 DEV that, you guessed, is the build for WP7 Tango.
The leak comes from a very unusual place, Slovakia, not that there is anything wrong with the country or something like that, but we’re not used to getting details from the Central European nation. The photo of the HTC HD7 running Windows Phone 7 Mango comes from the Pretaktovanie.sk forum, while the thread was posted by a person nicknamed Snake who is actually a very active moderator.
At the moment we’re a little baffled that Microsoft is considering selling HTC HD7 units with Tango on-board as the next-generation WP7 smartphones should be the ones to rock Tango out of the box. It is believed that the Windows Phone 7 eco-system will get a new family of smartphones this fall, with HTC being the premier phone maker.
On the screen we’re presented the details of the phone: HTC HD7 T9292 running on Windows Phone 7.10.8200 DEV, while the software build says “Windows Phone 7.5.”  This means that Mango won’t be Windows Phone 7.5, and that Apollo might become Windows Phone 8 if Microsoft doesn’t eventually decided to rebrand the “Windows Phone” name into “Zune Phone.”
The photo has now been removed which doesn’t come as a surprise at all as Microsoft never learns from its mistakes. Both Microsoft and Nokia said that they will adopt the Apple-like secrecy mantra, but we’ve seen numerous leaks recently so we’re just gonna let them talk without believing them.
Allegedly, the Tango-running HTC HD7 was on sale via Facebook for the very low amount of €150, but the post was eventually removed, too. We guess that it was sold really quickly after someone lost it in a bar somewhere.
Check out the photo below to see for yourself, and let us know what do you think about Windows Phone 7. Would you buy such smartphone considering the fact that the Mango update will come packed with five hundred new features this fall? Discuss in comments!
